Honestly, that's just a great way to turn more people off. There are plenty of valid reasons to run old software, security updates or no - testing for compatibility being one obvious one (either with the O/S itself, or versions of software the O/S shipped with - when did Fedora last ship Firefox 2, for example?) Putting up a message saying "this is no longer supported" - fine. Stopping people / making it impossible? That's not "Freedom".
